It seems the writers and producers simply made this thing up as they filmed it. The logical and historical incongruities are astonishing. I really wonder why this was made and where they got the funding. The plot seems to simply be written around a hack Jesus redemption theme. It gives us Christians an annoyingly bad reputation. Maybe God allows this stuff simply to keep us humble.
About the only thing "redemptive" in this film is the superb acting by John Rhys-Davies. The man is a true talent. Most of the other acting is pretty mediocre. There are a few good sets and costumes, and the music was okay, but there was just some very amateurish elements. A group of flute-playing soldiers marching in step down an extremely staged Philadelphia street? I can just hear the director saying "Everybody act real colonist-like!"
If you don't get too tired of near constant eye-rolling, punctuated now and then with open-mouthed stupefaction, then I guess this is entertaining enough, but don't judge Christianity based on this tripe.
